Kennedy Curse: Your Opinion


Paranormal Panther

Recommended Posts

Is there such a curse? Bad luck has accompanied their fame and fortune. They've faced centuries of misfortunes from Ireland to the USA. What can explain such a long list of tragic events?

Yeah, if you swallow there being a Kennedy curse, you also have to swallow there being an SNL curse or the fabled Bruce Lee curse. I don't buy any of it.. or actual curses for that matter. **** happens.

The Kennedy's are rich/famous and live life in the fast lane. The choices they make have outcomes that are often tragic. IMO, there's no curse involved.

I go back and forth on that. I think that some of their bad luck comes from wrong choices. Then, there are tragic events, such as stillborn births. I guess that maternal decisions could contribute to such tragedies, though.

I hope that you're right. My family has more misfortunes and tragedies than the Kennedys. We might just be victims of dumb luck. You begin to wonder after a while, though.

That's a good point. What if the Kennedys were garbagemen and janitors? We might not even hear about them. On the other hand, look at some lists of their clan's unfortunate events.

I've actually seen some members of the Kennedy family 'in action' so to speak. A friend of mine had their boat at the Hyannis Yacht Club and a couple of times I went with them to the clubhouse for dinner. The young Kennedys were (from what I saw) wild, entitled, out of control types (we've all seen how the celebs behave) that would have been escorted out were they not 'Kennedys'. Fast cars, speed boats, private plans paired with alcohol/drugs is a dangerous mixture.

Take alcohol out of the equation. Would you see all of the disasters and tragedies? Would you see the misbehavior? Heck, would you see the existence of a Kennedy dynasty?

I don't know much about the current Kennedys.

I thought the Kennedy Curse was enormous teeth.

Who is suppose to have laid this "curse" on the Kennedy's, anyways, the Tuatha De Danaan?

There are varied stories. One claims that a rabbi is the first. Kennedy insulted him and Hasidic survivors of the Holocaust while they were passengers on a ship, and the offended man put a generational curse on the family. However, the family had a lot of misfortunes that preceded this incident (if it actually took place).

I believe Mary Jo Kopechne`s death was a tragic event.....for her and her family.

Let's not forget Ted's brave, quick attempt to save her. Oh, wait.

There are many tragedies in families , the Kennedys are no different.

Some families seem to have more tragedies. That's what it seems like to me, anyway.

The moa were hunted to extinction by humans around the 14th century. The intrepid Haast's Eagle also terrorised the the flightless feathered meat bucket. But wait! There's more! The female moa grew to ginormous sizes and fought with other females for which male to breed with. This is excellent news! The guys just hung around, let the womyn go off and hunt and just had a blast and an uproarious time, you know. This one, bright shining moment in history was savagely mutilated by circumstance. I say if thete is a Kennedy curse, let there also be a moa curse. Snapple.

Snapple? It sounds more like Guinness to me.

Lots of money and a belief in your own superiority will get you into trouble no matter what your last name is.

Im definitely a believer in Karma , and I definitely believe that family had some Karmic issues. Lobotomizing your children will tend to do that to a family.

The bad luck even rubbed off on Marilyn Monroe.

Yes, that happens. Because many tragedies are essentially random events. If you get ten people to each roll five dice, some are going to score more sixes than others. That doesn't mean they're better at rolling sixes; it just means they rolled more sixes.
